HALETHORPE (BALTIMORE) MARYLAND . ESTIMATE IS $3500 - MY SHARE $1000 DEDUCTIBLE WITH LIBERTY MUTUAL. FLOOR MAT RECALL HAS BEEN DONE AND FIX WAS COMPLETED, HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED YET RE STEERING COLUMN CABLE REPAIR. A CHECK ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE OF MY SERIAL NUMBER DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS CAR IN THE ACCELERATION ISSUE. IF NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE GAS PEDAL CORRECTION IN THIS RECALL TO BE DONE ON MY CAR ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT SHOW IN YOUR RECALL LISTING - CAN THIS BE DONE?? CAN YOU REQUEST THIS OF MY DEALER - RUSSEL TOYOTA 6324 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE (410-788-8400) - BALTIMORE, MD?? OTHERWISE, I WILL BE SCARED THAT THIS COULD OCCUR AGAIN AT ANY TIME!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN OCTOBER 2010, ABOUT A MONTH LATER I BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. PRESSING THE BRAKES THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATES BEFORE SLOWING DOWN, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION. TO THIS DAY, THE BRAKES STILL REGULARLY ACCELERATE. OTHERS WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCE THE BRAKE ACCELERATION AND ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS (I DID KEEP THE WORK ORDER RECEIPTS), I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER RECENTLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN FOR SERVICE ON 9/26/14 AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 FOR A REGULAR SERVICE. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT VICTORY TOYOTA OF CANTON, MI 48188 SINCE I PURCHASE THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE FROM THEM. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR HAD A TIMING COVER LEAK THAT WAS TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,300.00 TO FIX AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THE LEAK WOULD GET WORSE. I AM OUT OF MY TWO YEAR WARRANTY TIME PERIOD. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ONE OF THEM WAS EVEN AS LOW AS $18,000 MILES. HE STATED THAT AT SOME POINT THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE A RECALL. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THEIR SOLUTION IS. I ADVISED THAT ANYTHING LESS THAN FULL REPAIR BY TOYOTA AT NO CHARGE TO ME WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. SUCH AN ISSUE SHOULD NOT POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE UNTIL 100,000 TO 110, 000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT MY CAR WAS THE 6TH THEY'D SEEN IN THE LAT TWO WEEKS IS A SERIOUS RED FLAG. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL UP. TODAY, I STOPPED MY CAR AT A REST STOP AND MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED SMOKING. THE WAFTED UP THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND THE WINDOW CONTROLLED BUTTON. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SMOKE CAME OUT INSTANTLY. TOYOTA HAS HAD A RECALL ON THEIR CAMRYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COROLLAS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST. I'M SUCK IN ANOTHER STATE WITH A CAR THAT CAN CATCH ON FIRE AT ANY MINUTE IT SEEMS. *TR

STEERING
WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OVER TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME 99 DOLLARS AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH TURNED UP NOTHING. ASSUMING THAT THE CAR WAS OK, AND THIS STEERING WHEEL LOCK WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS STEERING LOCK KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. THE WHEEL LOCKS, I TURN OFF THE CAR, I TURN IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT THE WHEEL WILL LOCK IN A PLACE WHERE I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON TO GET THE WHEEL UNLOCKED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THE PART ALONE IS ABOUT 1400 DOLLARS. I KNOW THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT TO DEALERS ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED. I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT IS TOYOTA'S FAULT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA'S AND FOR THAT MATTER ALMOST ALL CAR COMPANIES ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. WHY ARE THESE SYSTEM STILL ALLOWED TO BE USED. THE ONLY ONE TO SUFFER IN THE CONSUMER. ANYWAY, MY CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IS THERE IS A RECALL OR A SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
